Greece’s Maria Sakkari has been knocked out of Wimbledon in the second round, following a straight-sets defeat to Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan.
Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion and current world No. 11, dispatched Sakkari 6-3, 6-1 in just one hour.
Although Sakkari, ranked No. 77, briefly narrowed the score in the opening set to 3-4, Rybakina regained control and closed it out in 37 minutes.
The Greek player opened the second set with a break, but her momentum quickly faded as Rybakina surged ahead, conceding only one more game before sealing the win in just 23 minutes.
